Prolonged standing work can lead to various lower limb health issues. Footwear, as a convenient and noninvasive intervention, plays a key role in foot protection. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the impact of footwear characteristics on foot comfort among workers engaged in prolonged standing occupations. A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library was conducted until March 2025 for experimental and observational studies; the review is registered in International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD420251003253).Given the diversity of study designs, participant characteristics, and outcome measures, results were synthesized narratively, organizing findings by footwear design factors. The synthesis indicated that soft soles reduce foot impact and fatigue but offer limited support, whereas hard soles enhance stability but may cause localized pressure and discomfort. Sole hardness should balance cushioning and support based on activity: hard soles for standing and soft soles for walking. Insole hardness must be carefully considered as semirigid arch supports can cause discomfort. Most insoles improve pressure distribution by adjusting arch loading, and some enhance intrinsic foot muscles by promoting toe engagement, reducing leg swelling. Custom orthotic insoles outperform standard ones in comfort and balance. Future research should promote interdisciplinary collaboration with footwear designers to explore key design parameters and establish a scientific framework for protective footwear.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) on the occurrence, development of psoriasis-like inflammation in mice, and the relative immune mechanisms. MethodsHealthy C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Control), psoriasis model group (IMQ), and HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966-treated psoriasis model group (IMQ+RGFP966). One day prior to the experiment, the back hair of the mice was shaved. After a one-day stabilization period, the mice in Control group was treated with an equal amount of vaseline, while the mice in IMQ group was treated with imiquimod (62.5 mg/d) applied topically on the back to establish a psoriasis-like inflammation model. The mice in IMQ+RGFP966 group received intervention with a high dose of the HDAC3-selective inhibitor RGFP966 (30 mg/kg) based on the psoriasis-like model. All groups were treated continuously for 5 d, during which psoriasis-like inflammation symptoms (scaling, erythema, skin thickness), body weight, and mental status were observed and recorded, with photographs taken for documentation. After euthanasia, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the effect of RGFP966 on the skin tissue structure of the mice, and skin thickness was measured. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HDAC3 in skin tissues were detected using reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB), respectively. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze neutrophils in peripheral blood and lymph nodes, CD4⁺ T lymphocytes, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, spleen CD4⁺ T lymphocyte expression of HDAC3, CCR6, CCR8, and IL-17A secretion levels were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression levels of HDAC3, IL-17A, and IL-10 in skin tissues. ResultsCompared with the Control group, the IMQ group exhibited significant psoriasis-like inflammation, characterized by erythema, scaling, and skin wrinkling. Compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 exacerbated psoriasis-like inflammatory symptoms, leading to increased hyperkeratosis. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) skin symptom scores were higher in the IMQ group than those in the Control group, and the scores were further elevated in the IMQ+RGFP966 group compared to the IMQ group. Skin thickness measurements showed a trend of IMQ+RGFP966>IMQ>Control. The numbers of neutrophils in the blood and lymph nodes increased sequentially in the Control, IMQ, and IMQ+RGFP966 groups, with a similar trend observed for CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in the blood. In skin tissues, compared with the Control group, the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC3 decreased in the IMQ group, but RGFP966 did not further reduce these expressions. HDAC3 was primarily located in the nucleus. Compared with the Control group, the nuclear HDAC3 content decreased in the skin tissues of the IMQ group, and RGFP966 further reduced nuclear HDAC3. Compared with the Control and IMQ groups, RGFP966 treatment decreased HDAC3 expression in splenic CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. RGFP966 treatment increased the expression of CCR6 and CCR8 in splenic CD4⁺ T cells and enhanced IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood and splenic CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 reduced IL-10 protein levels and upregulated IL-17A expression in skin tissues. ConclusionRGFP966 exacerbates psoriatic-like inflammatory responses by inhibiting HDAC3, increasing the secretion of the cytokine IL-17A, and upregulating the expression of chemokines CCR8 and CCR6.

Objective:To construct a triple pre-rehabilitation intervention program for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, to provide a basis for promoting pre-rehabilitation in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.Methods:Literature analysis was used to search domestic and foreign databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, PubMed, etc, on triple pre-rehabilitation and rapid rehabilitation of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, with a search time frame from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2023. The Delphi expert letter consultation was conducted later, and the final draft of the triple pre-rehabilitation intervention program for patients with radical prostatectomy was finally formed.Results:A total of 20 experts completed 2 rounds of inquiries, all were female, with an age of (40.85 ± 5.40) years old. The response rates for the 2 rounds of expert inquiries were both 100%(20/20). The authority coefficients of the experts were 0.87 and 0.90, respectively. Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.11 and 0.21, respectively. The coefficient of variation for each item in the second round of inquiries ranged from 0 to 0.15. The triple pre-rehabilitation intervention program for patients with radical resection of prostate cancer was constructed, including 4 primary indexes, 8 secondary indexes and 25 tertiary indexes.Conclusions:It is scientific, targeted and feasible to construct a triple pre-rehabilitation intervention program for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy based on Delphi method, which can provide clinical basis for pre-rehabilitation of elderly patients undergoing prostate cancer surgery.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)in cognitive impairment related to Cerebral Small Vessel Disease(CSVD).Methods:This study was a retrospective analysis of 60 CSVD patients,who were divided into cognitive impairment group(n=32)and normal group(n=28)based on Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale(MoCA).Compare the general information and MRI parameters of two groups of patients,use correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis to investigate the relationship between MRI parameters and cognitive dysfunction,and use receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)to explore the value of MRI parameters in diagnosing cognitive dysfunction in cerebral small vessel disease.Results:Compared with the cognitively normal group,the cognitive impairment group had older age,higher apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),lower anisotropy score(FA),and an overall increase in microbleeds(P＜0.05).Age(r=-0.510),ADC value(r=-0.591),and overall number of microbleeds(r=-0.369)were significantly negatively correlated with MoCA score(P＜0.05),while FA value(r=0.262)was significantly positively correlated with MoCA score(P＜0.05).The logistic regression results indicate that age,overall microbleeds,ADC value,and FA value are influencing factors for cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of age,ADC,FA,and microbleeds significantly improved diagnostic efficacy(AUC=0.990,95％CI=0.974-1.000).Conclusion:The joint analysis of multimodal MRI parameters can provide important imaging evidence for the early identification of cognitive dysfunction in CSVD.

Objective:To investigate the current status and challenges of pediatric life support training in China and provide references for improving training quality.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from pediatric life support training centers across the country，covering basic institutional information，training capacity and training faculty，training program funding，as well as existing challenges and issues.The domestic registry of training centers in 2023 was obtained through the American Heart Association's online platform.After contacting and verifying each center，an online questionnaire was distributed，and the aggregated data were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 42 institutions participated in the survey，including 19 children's hospitals，14 general hospitals，6 maternal and child health hospitals，2 women and children’s hospitals，and 1 training institution.The distribution of training centers showed a concentration in coastal areas，with the top three provinces/municipalities being Guangdong（7/42，16.7%），Zhejiang（6/42，14.3%），and Shanghai（4/42，9.5%）.As of December 31 2023，the 42 institutions had an annual basic life support（BLS）training volume of 8 587 individuals，the median was 120 (100,200)，and an annual pediatric advanced life support（PALS）training volume of 2 448 individuals，the median was 30 (20,50).Among the 42 institutions，there were 598 BLS instructors and 306 PALS instructors.Among the surveyed institutions，24（24/42，57.1%）reported BLS instructor teams comprising fewer than 10 members，and 33（33/42，78.6%）reported PALS instructor teams comprising fewer than 10.Only 7 centers(7/42,16.7%）reported having dedicated funding support.The top three challenges were：training sessions occupying instructors’personal time（27/42，64.3%），low instructor compensation（16/42，38.1%），and issues with the data submission system（16/42，38.1%）.Conclusion:Pediatric life support training centers in China are primarily children’s hospitals，with a geographical concentration in coastal areas，which is also reflected in the distribution of training scale and instructor resources.Most centers have relatively small training scales and limited instructor capacity，with many instructors conducting training during their personal time.These issues may hinder the implementation and effectiveness of training programs.

Objective:To investigate the completion rate of tumor evaluation at initial assessment and after neoadjuvant therapy for mid and low rectal cancer patients in the national multicenter real-world database.Methods:The prospective real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 074 patients who underwent surgical treatment for mid and low rectal cancer in 47 national medical institutions, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital et al, from May 12,2023 to May 11,2024 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients with mid and low rectal cancer; (2) initial colonoscopy and pathologic evaluation of tumors in patients with mid and low rectal cancer; (3) initial imaging evaluation of patients with mid and low rectal cancer; (4) imaging evaluation after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3). Count data were described as absoluter numbers and/or percentages. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 1 074 patients, there were 713 males and 361 females, aged 63(56,70)years. The body mass index of 1 074 patients was 24(21,26)kg/m 2.For American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, there were 147 cases of stage Ⅰ, 641 cases of stage Ⅱ, 157 cases of stage Ⅲ, 2 cases of stage Ⅳ, and there were 127 cases missing data. (2) Initial colonoscopy and pathologic evaluation of tumors in patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 1 074 patients, there were 787 cases (73.28%) undergoing complete colonoscopy, and there were only 197 cases (18.34%) undergoing immunohistochemical evaluation of all four mismatch repair proteins. (3) Initial imaging evaluation of patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 1 074 patients, there were 842(78.40%) patients completing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound evaluation, and there were 914(85.10%) patients completing chest, abdomen, and pelvis enhanced computed tomography (CT) evaluation.

In the 70 patients completing rectal ultrasound evaluation, there were 65 cases (92.86%) com-pleting T staging evaluation, and there were 49 cases (70.00%) completing N staging evaluation. In the 327 patients completing rectal MRI evaluation, there were 246 cases (75.23%) completing T staging, and there were 228 cases (69.72%) completing N staging evaluation. Conclusion:The com-pletion rate of tumor imaging evaluation at initial assessment and after neoadjuvant therapy for mid and low rectal cancer patients on a national scale is relatively good.

Breast cancer(BRCA)remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to its high rates of metastasis and recurrence,making it crucial to explore its underlying molecular mechanisms.Our previous study demonstrated that miR-326 inhibits BRCA progression by targeting EPH receptor B3(EPHB3).This study further explores the molecular mechanism by which long non-coding RNAs(LncRNAs)regulates BRCA progression via the competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA)mecha-nism,in which it competes with EPHB3 for miR-326 binding.Bioinformatics analysis identified LncRNA Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 12(SNHG12)as a potential miR-326-binding molecule.SNHG12 was found to be significantly upregulated in BRCA tissues,exhibiting a negative correlation trend with miR-326 and a positive correlation trend with EPHB3,suggesting its potential involvement in the ceRNA regu-latory network.Nuclear-cytoplasmic fractionation assays revealed cytoplasmic localization of SNHG12,while dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed its direct binding to miR-326.Functional experiments demonstrated that SNHG12 knockdown significantly suppressed BRCA cell proliferation,invasion,and migration,while miR-326 inhibition reversed these effects.Furthermore,miRNA pulldown assay re-vealed significant enrichment of SNHG12 and EPHB3 in the miR-326 pulldown products,indicating di-rect binding between them.Western blotting and rescue experiments revealed that SNHG12 upregulates EPHB3 expression by sponging miR-326,thereby promoting the malignant behaviors of BRCA cells.Col-lectively,this study revealed that LncRNA SNHG12 promotes BRCA progression by regulating the miR-326/EPHB3 axis through a ceRNA mechanism.The SNHG12/miR-326/EPHB3 pathway may represent a promising target for the molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy of BRCA.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of acute kidney injury in severe burn patients,and to construct a visual risk nomogram model.Methods A total of 390 patients with severe burn admitted to the Institute of Burn Frostbite and Tissue Function Reconstruction of Chinese People's Armed Police Force Specialty Medical Center from January 2018 to January 2022 were collected as an internal training data set,and 50 patients with severe burn admitted from February to December 2022 were collected as an external validation data set.The 390 patients of the internal training data set were divided into the acute kidney injury group and the non-acute kidney injury group according to the occurrence of acute kidney injury,and the baseline data of patients in the two groups were compared.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of acute kidney injury in severe burn patients of the internal training data set,and a nomogram model was drawn.Subsequently,the model was verified both internally and externally.Kaplan-Meier analysis and Log-rank test were used to compare the 90-day survival rate of patients between the acute kidney injury group and the non-acute kidney injury group.Results The burn area(OR=1.18,95%CI:1.06 to 2.36,P=0.004),sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score(OR=1.81,95%CI:1.21 to 5.92,P<0.001),inhalation injury(OR=3.21,95%CI:1.23 to 6.35,P<0.001),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)(OR=1.22,95%CI:1.05 to 3.65,P<0.001)and albumin(ALB)(OR=0.78,95%CI:0.57 to 0.92,P=0.011)were the independent risk factors for the development of acute kidney injury in severe burn patients.The nomogram model was established by the above factors.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of the internal training data set was 0.833(95%CI:0.752 to 0.935),the sensitivity was 81.2%,and the specificity was 83.2%.The AUC of the external validation data set was 0.842(95%CI:0.762 to 0.912),the sensitivity 87.2%,and the specificity was 78.7%.The 90-day survival rate of patients in the acute kidney injury group after burns was significantly lower than that in the non-acute kidney injury group(P<0.001).Conclusion Larger burn area,higher SOFA score,combined inhalation injury,increased NLR,and decreased ALB level are the risk factors for the occurrence of acute kidney injury in severe burn patients,which are related to the 90-day survival rate of patients after burns.The nomogram model based on the risk factors can provide certain reference for clinical individualized prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury in severe burn patients.
